NS-USBloader mobile is Android implementation of the original NS-USBloader.

It's used with NS homebrew applications installed on console such as: Adubbz/TinFoil, Huntereb/Awoo-Installer and XorTroll/GoldLeaf.

• For Adubbz/TinFoil and Huntereb/Awoo-Installer USB and NET (WiFi) installations supported.
• For XorTroll/GoldLeaf USB installation supported. Please note: only GoldLeaf-v0.5 supported.

In other words, it's replacement for default scripts/applications like usb_install_pc.py, remote_install_pc.py, GoldTree/Quark that works on your phone or tablet.

Note: You will need USB-OTG cable. Otherwise, you'll be charging phone.

User guide

System requirements

• Minimum: Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich).
• Maximum: Android 11.
• USB-OTG support / WiFi.

How to use

Supports:

• Adubbz/TinFoil, Huntereb/Awoo-Installer - USB and Net-installs (over WiFi).
• GoldLeaf v0.5.

USB (use short usb cable):

• Open Awoo Installer/Tinfoil/GoldLeaf v0.5
• Connect NS to Android device using OTG cable.
• Allow interaction request. Application opens.
• Click "hamburger" menu-button and select application you'd like to use.
• Select NSP on your device. One-by-one each time clicking on button.
• Click upload button.

WiFi (for installation over the Net (Tinfoil)):

• Connect to WiFi.
• Setup 90DNS or whatever you use.
• Open Awoo Installer, select installation over the net.
• Open settings (click 'hamburger' menu-button), enter NS IP you see on the screen.

Other notes

"Status" = "Uploaded" that appears in the table does not mean that file has been installed. It means that it has been sent to NS without any issues. That's what this app about. Handling successful/failed installation is a purpose of the other side application: TinFoil/GoldLeaf v0.5 (they don't provide any feedback interfaces).

Screenshots

Known issues

If you're Samsung owner, it would be better to not rotating your phone during transfer. Or minimizing. On an elder device it causes application failure. But you can try if you're curious, and report/update a bug.
